| Abstract: | We are interested in how personal agents who perform calendar management
on behalf of their human users can schedule meetings effectively. A key
difficulty of concern is deciding when to reschedule an existing meeting in favor
of a new meeting. We model the meeting scheduling problem as a special subclass
of distributed constraint reasoning (DCR) called the Incremental, Limited
Information Exchange Multiagent Assignment Problem (IL-MAP). Key novelties
of our approach include i) a focus on incremental scheduling, ii) scheduling
under a limited information exchange paradigm and, iii) using models of other
agents to schedule more effectively. Our results are the first in DCR to show how
models of other agents can be used to improve problem solving performance. |
